The cast for Brienne doesn't look strong enough ;(?

Holy shiet, I just wiki'd her; She is 1.91m tall.
Maybe this will work after all.

Not to spoiler anything, hopefully, but yes she is in A Clash of Kings. Along with Brienne.

My theory on this is that the producers know, more or less, that Game of Thrones is on a pretty real clock. They'll be outrageously lucky to get 7 seasons from HBO (it'll never happen,) and it is more likely that this show will go down the same road as other big budget period pieces like Rome and Deadwood.

It's just so expensive to produce this show that the producers will probably merge the narratives of A Clash of Kings and a Storm of Swords. They'll try to tell as much of the story as they can in the time they have.

I thought Melisandre had red hair. Whatever nothing a little dye can't fix.

I pictured Stannis being a lot older and more fat though, ah well.


Stannis is younger than Robert and described as "broad of shoulder and sinewy of limb" but never fat.


^@the pictures of Brienne: She certainly isn't as ugly as described in the books, but that's expected(so far HBO hasn't cast any ugly actors)

I'd say she's appropriate. Nothing a little make-up/costume work won't fix.

All the casts so far seem really good, but that was to be expected imo. Can't wait for next season.

"King" Stannis. I can't come to this thread without being spoiled even though it has huge warnings.
I wish that doesn't actually mean something, probably wasn't intentional but spoiled nevertheless.
On topic, actors look decent, have a good look to them. Still wanted gerard butler for Stannis -_-~

Honestly..why will it never happen?

The most likely explanation is that there are relevant scenes for her to be in. If you don't think to hard, I'm sure you can come up with some.

Read the big warning message from the mods at the top of each of this thread. King Stannis declared himself as such during the first season of the TV show, A Game of Thrones, if you bothered to even watch it.

Well, I think Game of Thrones is great. It really is, I'm not disparaging its quality. But not many shows make it to seven seasons and those shows are usually sitcom style shows. Game of Thrones is a PRODUCTION. They have to shoot outdoors and on location. They need extras and have tons of contracts for tons of characters. They even need CGI...

Look, I'd love for it to go 7 seasons but I don't think it will. I think Sopranos was the last scripted HBO 1-hour drama to go 7 seasons but Oz, Deadwood, Rome, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Big Love all ended before that. Some of those shows was because of showrunner's intent: The Wire and Six Feet Under but Game of Thrones is more like Deadwood and Rome. And God knows those shows ended too soon. Anyways, I may be wrong, and I'll be happy to be wrong.

His point was more that Game of Thrones is ridicilously expensive to produce, True Blood is way cheaper.

At this point using Rome for why it wont go X seasons would be a terrible example, as HBO has repeatedly stated they regret cancelling Rome as they could of easily made it work financially especially after they got the DVD sales numbers in. BBC pulled out of the split venture HBO and them had and HBO panicked pulling the plug before the last season dvd even went on sale.

Fact is shows like this sell pretty well on DVD, while sitcoms tend to be sold into syndication better.

Will this show go 7 seasons? Nah most likely not. Will it get to tell the story up till the end ASOS(the third book), god i hope so. Getting through that book would make the most sense, as it ends the least cliffhangerish and offers ample conclusions to some story arcs.

At the end of the day, as an avid fan of the book series, I'm glad for every season of this show that gets made.

I always pictured Brienne as similar to a WNBA player, so I expected to be disappointed by her appearance no matter what.
